President Barack Obama’s administration just announced that the United States will take in 110,000 more refugees within the coming year, but a Texas Republican slammed the president’s decision.

In an interview with Fox News, Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller said he believed refugees should stay in Syria.

Miller blasted Obama, who made the decision to raise the amount of refugees coming to the U.S. by 30 percent.

“I agree with Donald Trump,” Miller said. “We need extreme vetting and we don’t even have good vetting yet. So we do not need to bring in these refugees.

“They need to stay in refugee camps,” he explained. “That’s what we normally do in times of war. And by the way, we’re still in war. The war on terror. We haven’t won and they haven’t surrendered. So we are still at war.

“We should have compassion, we shouldn’t be separating mothers from their children, or husbands from their wives, or brother and sister,” Miller stated, agreeing that acknowledgement of humanity and compassion should also be prioritized.

But he continued to explain why the refugees should stay in their home country.
